This came out of one of the three specialities.
Cuisine Étoilée is a 172-page working guide to the standards, technique and mindset of the world’s best kitchens — seven chapters, written plainly, because the problem was never that these things are difficult. It is that nobody would explain them.
Alongside it, three specialities commissioned from working chefs:
- Kitchen Labor Organization — Davide Peli, Eleven Madison Park
- Molecular Cooking & Hydrocolloids — Elvin Lando, formerly Alchemist
- Growing for the Menu — Paolo Piantadosi, Mirazur
Sam Dill — over 10,000 hours in some of the world’s best restaurants.
